IMHO, an underappreciated aspect of 'filing bug reports is (hard) work for people' is that it's hard work that often has no particularly immediate payoff. Filing a bug report will mostly not get the problem fixed immediately the way you want; at best it may get you a fix in the next release, which will arrive who knows when.

This week we’re celebrating Maintainer Month along with our friends at GitHub. Open source runs the world, but who runs open source? Maintainers. Open source maintainers are behind the software we use everyday, but they don’t always have the community or support they need. That’s why we’re celebrating open source maint...

ngl super embarrassing how often i’d look at something and go “wow this seems like a completely pointless overcomplicated mess” and then later run head-first into the exact same problem the seemingly overcomplicated mess solves, without ever realising my mistake

happens all the time in big corporates, but there's a balance here? have the foolishness to think you can rewrite the world, but the respect that things are like this for a reason the value comes in questioning those reasons to determine if they (still) apply to your needsScarlet (@NekomimiScience)Wed, 10 May 2023 09:41 +0000

“XYZ is the future!” is a sure fire way of ensuring a lot of previously burnt people will hate something that is possibly worth further consideration. #HTMX
Dax Raad joins KBall and Nick to chat about SST, a framework that makes it easier to build full-stack applications on AWS. We chat about how the project got started and its goals. Then we discuss OpenNext, an open source, framework-agnostic server less adapter for Next.js.

Jeremy Howard thinks Mojo might be the biggest programming language advance in decades, Amelia Wattenberger is not impressed by AI chatbots, a leaked Google memo admits big tech has no AI moats & Werner Vogels reminds us that monoliths are not dinosaurs.

Go conferences are not as diverse as we’d like them to be. There are initiatives in place to improve this situation. Among other roles, Ronna Steinberg is the Head of Diversity at GopherCon Europe. In this episode we’ll learn more about the goal, the process and the problems, and how can each one of us help make this b...

The question isn't determining whether Bluesky, Mastodon, Twitter, etc is the better platform. The question is why are we obsessed with emulating centralized corporate experiences that do not care about us or our communities? It's a lack of imagination leading that convo, not innovation.
I like when I can add a cover letter as an optional thing if I want to dig into a couple of areas and add more context my CV may be not as deep on, but it's nice when it can be optional not required!
young me: i wonder if this new technical thing is cool middle-aged me: i wonder if i can avoid knowing about this new technical thing until it goes away
I applied for a job by uploading my resume — and then correcting the job site's confused reading of my resume. BUT I did not have to add a cover letter. way Way ahead of the pack for application process
On remote/real-world working: both are good. If you never interact casually with your collaborators at work it is harder to find a unity of purpose. If you spend all day having serendipitous conversations you never write any code. When possible, why not some of each?
To keep the modern technological world of open source software safe, it is critical to efficiently and accurately communicate information about open source vulnerabilities. The OSV Schema, created through the collaboration between OpenSSF members and housed within the Vulnerability Disclosures Working Group, provides a minimal, easy-to-use first class JSON format for describing vulnerabilities in open source software.

I want open source maintainer to be a profession. A thing you start by joining something bigger than just yourself, and then you grow in it. And eventually spawn off your own thing, hopefully. 🗣️ @filippo@abyssdomain.expert https://youtu.be/OBWCM2G6_-I

Releasing a product or feature without proper material that explains why anyone should care will likely lead to poor results. Try writing your “why” docs first. Before you write that first line of code. Not how it will work. WHY they should care.
Attached: 1 image Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible. They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image. A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points. Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic. If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness. This email is seemingly *not* a drill.

If you’ve ever seen Quantum of Solace, you’ll see an example of what happens when you continue with a production during a writers’ strike. Awful movie, and it was in between Casino Royale and Skyfall which were great. I’ll be so upset if Disney ruin season 2 of Andor, given that will be the end of the whole thing. There won’t be a season 3, season 2 goes right up to the Rogue One movie https://gizmodo.com/andor-season-2-production-writers-strike-1850411776

"Welcome to our gander reveal party!" "Don't you mean..." "No." Geese emerge from everywhere. There are no fireworks. Only geese. There are no balloons. Only chaos. There are no genders. Only honk.
I think I figured out an aesthetic reason why AI-in-everything has been annoying the hell out of me. They're all using the same API from the same source — okay maybe two or three sources but mostly not — converging all their interesting and distinct services into one indistinguishable oatmeal mashup. Oh you can help me write emails? How is that different from the ten other apps that hook up to ChatGPT to help me write emails?
Gotten a lot of questions about *porn* film festivals and what it’s like to attend one - so now I’m writing an article about it 🎬💋👀 AMA or tell me what you want to know!
my dad has been speaking to a royalist in his street and when my dad said we should get rid of the monarchy this bloke said "who would you have in charge instead... a load of transgenders?" and im obsessed with the idea that you can either have a king or a council of trans people

Ben and Ceora talk through some thorny issues around AI-generated music and art, explain why creators are suing AI companies for copyright infringement, and compare notes on the most amusing/alarming AI-generated content making the rounds (Pope coat, anyone?).

I’m now out of the police station. Still waiting for my colleagues. Make no mistake. There is no longer a right to peaceful protest in the UK. I have been told many times the monarch is there to defend our freedoms. Now our freedoms are under attack in his name.Graham Smith 🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 (@GrahamSmith_)Sat, 06 May 2023 22:30 +0000

The home team talks with Luca Galante of Humanitec about how platform engineering is more art than science, how self-service platforms empower developers with “golden paths,” and why he’s excited, not anxious, about AI tools (at least for now).
